This is an original composition for euphonium and brass band from the pen of bright young composing talent, Benjamin Tubb. The work begins with an expressive lament incorporating a clever quote from Amazing Grace, a melody associated by many with Celtic Scotland but known to be of American origin. Following an expressive cadenza, the music moves quickly through a variety of styles featuring complex rhythms before arriving at a grandstand close.

 

Amidst a Celtic Dream was commissioned by, and composed, for David Childs and can be heard on the Doyen CD Celtic Charm (DOYCD214) on which the performers are David Childs and the Cory Band.
